Bug#391515: gs-gpl: double free or corruption in 8.54 when making pdf

[Peter Palfrader <weasel@debian.org>]

Package: gs-gpl
Version: 8.54.dfsg.1-1
Severity: important

When building Tor's documentation on amd64 I noticed that the gs-gpl
in etch works (8.50-1.1) but not that in sid (8.54.dfsg.1-1):

root@simona:/tmp/buildd/tor-0.1.1.24/doc/design-paper# make cell-struct.pdf
fig2dev -L pdf cell-struct.fig cell-struct.pdf
Error in ghostcript command
command was: gs -q -dNOPAUSE -sAutoRotatePages=None -dAutoFilterColorImages=false -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -sOutputFile=cell-struct.pdf - -c quit
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x000000000057b010 ***
make: *** [cell-struct.pdf] Aborted
make: *** Deleting file `cell-struct.pdf'

Downgrading gs-gpl to 8.50 solves the problem.

I have not encounted the problem on i386.

fig2dev can be found in the transfig package, cell-struct.fig at
https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/tor/trunk/doc/design-paper/cell-struct.fig

Cheers,
Peter
